On a rainy Sunday.....

The weather was boring today .. Just a soft rain, tho enough to stay at home ! Dawn and I are swapping beautiful drunkard path blocks. Actually she sent me a pile and I still have to sew them ..... So I thought that today was a perfect day for it. Everybody at home was enjoying her or himself so ........sewing time for Mammy . I opened my closet to search for some fabrics! and...... I found a bag with scraps which I got from Kathie, and she showed me last her quilt she made with blue fabrics .... And the inpspiration came up. Sorry Dawn, I always have very strong inner feelings. So no drunkard path today but a blue project. My daughters with a helping hand. I like squares. I love the simplicity! In the bag with scraps was only one fabric big enough for the border!

( why do I always make a mistake with a simple pattern like this ... believe me I only found it when I uploaded this picture !!) In my turn I inspired my daughter ...... She played with her fabrics and had so much fun !!

See your daughters are very PW-busy - :-) - hope my sons - or just one of them - will even sew one time. In the moment (they are 4 and 6 yo) they love more to race with cars - its o.k.! Wonderful quilts.

hi lucy, your blue project is lovely and i had to smile when seing that your daughter has the same bathgown as our Anastazie...hm, these girls seem to be hemma fans :o))))is not that bathgown just adorable? i love it!!!

Love this quilt top - very lively. Very generous of Kathie to send you the scraps. It's only a mistake if you let yourself think that way. Instead, think of the block as being lively, bold, and unwilling to follow the rules! It's your inner Maverick rising to the surface.

I love the 'mistake' as well as the blue and white colours - always very fresh looking :-) Your daughter is turning into quite a quilter - she looks very comfortable at the sewing machine and she laid out her fabrics very nicely!

Lucy, what neat pictures! Your daughters are beautiful and are having so much fun!

I just wanted to tell you that my sister is leaving the west coast (USA) to fly directly to Amsterdam tomorrow. How I wished she could stop in an see you and say 'hi' to you in person from me!!!! She'll just be in the airport a few hours and then is on her way for a month in India. Since she won't be able to visit. . .I'll just send my greetings this way!

Raining days are Perfect to sewing, without dubt! And it's really lovely to see your little assistant sewing and get busy with fabrics! :-))I can't wait saturday comes to get a lot of sewing time for me, still at work tomorrow and then I will have all the week end just for me! (and I have a lot of project are waiting for me!). Love, Giusy

It's delurking week out here in blog land...that's where you say hi to anyone whos blogs you read. This is me... saying I love to read all about your life. Your kiddos are just beautiful and I love getting a peek into life in the Netherlands. Have a wonderful day and thanks for sharing!!!dawn
